Patrizia Ciofi (Norina), Simone Alaimo (Don Pasquale), Marzio Giossi (Dr. Malatesta), Norman Shankle (Ernesto) & Romaric Braun (notary) Chorus of the Grand Theatre de Geneve & Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Evelino Pido Bel Air present Don Pasquale, a true masterpiece from Donizetti. It's one of the funniest operas ever
composed, but it also shines with Donizetti's trademark touch of gentle pathos and some of his finest music.
The production is from the Grand Theatre of Geneva, with soprano Patrizia Ciofi as Norina and baritone
Simone Alaimo in the title role. “Donizetti's final comic masterpiece dmands velocity, pathos and above all wit. This Don Pasquale from Geneva has them all, and with Evelino Pidō conducting in the pit, it bubbles with excitement.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ***** “Evelino Pidō is a specialist in this repertory and he leads the Geneva forces in a well balanced account of what many people consider Doniezetti's masterpiece, The outstanding performance comes from Simone Alaimo in the title-role.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008  BBC Music Magazine
